History

The shrine originated in 1334 CE when Nitta Yoshitsugu enshrined the deity Kuntari Yasha Myo-o. During the Meiji era, it was renamed Guntori Shrine and came to enshrine Yamato Takeru as a war deity. More than 400 years ago, during the Muromachi period, the shrine was relocated to its current site due to a wildfire. It received deep reverence from figures such as Takeda Shingen and the lords of Iwadono Castle. Before the war, visits from soldiers and their families praying for long-lasting military fortune were constant.
